FATHER’S DEATH

Innalillahi Wa Innah Ilahir Raziun

May ALLAH grant your mine and all MUSLIM ease in the Grave and forgive them AMIN

I wrote this poem for my father who died in 1988

Incidentally this was my first poem i wrote it after his death and did not wrote any more till i re started writing four years ago

SWEETSWORDS 43 [ R.I.P ]

BISMILLAH

Poga Humayun Dundiwala

He was with me yesterday
I will be with him tomorrow
In between dangling pendulum of pleasure
That separates us
Is called now
One breath in one breath out
No one knows how

Poga Say's in a foolington maze

Know how is well known among
Well trained ignorants
Bagful of bigots and artful those aspirants
Know how of graveyard is not of dead
It is the place of human spirituality
Unknown to physical head

He was with GOD yesterday
He is with GOD now
We will meet tomorrow
Only GOD knows how

Shoowa Miah is my father Ollie was my nephew

We ask that Allah, Most High, has mercy upon him and forgive him.  Further, that his children are righteous and that this becomes a source of extra blessings for your dad.

May Allah swt, grant patience to you and your family. May Allah swt, turn your father's  place of rest { grave } into a Garden of Jannah.

Indeed, none can fill up this vaccum in one's life. But brother, just a reminder, you need to be now more conscious of your deeds and try to be more good, as it may be rewarding for your father too.

As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un

Alhamdulillah you can consider yourself lucky that you shared time with your father and he was your friend as well. Treasure the memories as none can take it away. Continue on the way he guided you and he will also be rewarded with every reward you earn. Remember the only certainty of life is death and sooner or later we will go down the same way.

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala shower His Mercy upon your father, spare him from the trials of the grave and grant him entry into Jannatul-Firdaus. Ameen!

May Allah give you and your family Sabr, compensate and reward you with Khair

both in this world and the next, Ameen!
